I did hear stuff about the SM3 being an upgrade for Su-27s to “Su-35S Standards” only to be cut for cost efficiency. Mostly from the same news publications saying that Su-30SM2s have Irbis and AL-41.
but, since Gaijin gave the SM2 Irbis and Al-41, who knows.

When tf did N001 VEP get NCTR?? I haven’t touched the SM or MK2 in a while (i’ve been using the MKK a lot.)

That… explains why I didn’t notice.
Should N001VE also get NCTR or is this just a VEP thing?

Maybe early service and pre upgrade Gefest SVP-24
MiG-29K (9.31) coming to Rank 8, maybe
I don’t know battle rating 13.3 or same MiG-29M (9-15)
For the rank 9

R-77-1 intergration (among other weapons) was one of the main features of the SM3 program, yes.
There was plans for KAB-500S, Kh-59M, R-77-1, R-74M and R-37M but only R-77-1 made it out alive.
Spoiler
Su-27SM3 would be 15.0 ~ 15.3 (Air battle) if gajin prepare 5th gen IR Air-to-Air Missile for 4.5 gen fighter aircraft
The early rank 9
But, folder with Su-30SM ?
More than 14.3 would be unreasonably high to be honest, it has a terrible radar compared to what it could face at that br range, the airframe and missiles would be good, but still inferior to the like of an SM2 or “future” Su-35.

inbefore Gaijin will turn Su-35 into missile bus that will compress harder than SM2
Imagine a Flanker with the N010M radar at 13.7 Would be peak

Su-27M could be that. Also upper hemisphere MAW coverage as the cherry on top. Maybe Gaijin will bless us with it one day, but my hope is very weak

Make them be not unequipable and without ECM mechanics on top of that.

There’s so many great ones for Flankers, but they never go with peak.
These first two are some of my favorite of all time. the 1988 Debut camo has a really nice blue, so does the specific Red 21 Su-35S camo that no other user skin seems to get right.
I also just love this one for the 27SM.

Also the 27SM skin is so good I spaded the F-15C just to have a skin like it in game.
Also gotta love how the gradient comes in from opposite angles on the F-15C compared to the Su-27SM.
10/10 storytelling.

The F-4S’s default livery gives off similar vibes from what I remember, doesn’t it?
